The Rush Funplex is a video arcade serving the Overland Park area of Kansas. Part of the broader Kansas City metropolitan entertainment scene, it operates as a dedicated video-game venue where visitors can drop in for a few hours of play. The brand operates multiple locations, and the listing on the arcade finder directory identifies this particular site as the Shawnee-area branch of the Funplex chain.
While the record lists the venue under Overland Park, the mailing address and the official Shawnee-KS landing page place the actual site in neighboring Shawnee. That geography is worth keeping in mind for anyone planning a visit, since the two cities sit adjacent to one another just southwest of Kansas City proper. For travelers comparing options across the metro, the interactive arcade map shows how The Rush Funplex sits relative to nearby competitors such as Activate Games, KingCade, Game Show Battle Rooms, and Dave & Buster’s Overland Park.

The Scene
Because the venue record does not include a written review summary, a list of curated review highlights, or an editorial caveat, there is no qualitative commentary to relay from visitor write-ups. What can be stated factually is that The Rush Funplex carries an aggregated Google rating of 3.8 out of 5, drawn from a sample of 264 submitted reviews. That puts the venue slightly below the typical 4-star threshold many arcades clear, though it is worth noting that smaller sample ratings tend to swing more readily with a handful of strongly worded posts in either direction.
The Funplex is categorized in mapping data as a “video arcade,” which signals a traditional coin-and-card cabinet setup rather than a barcade, restaurant-arcade hybrid, or pure pinball bar. Visitors searching the directory looking for a classic-style video-game room in the south Kansas City corridor should find the venue fits that brief, with all standard seven-day operating hours and a phone line listed for general inquiries.
Games & Machines
The directory record does not list a specific inventory of cabinets, pinball machines, or redemption games on site, and no homepage analysis was provided for this location. Based solely on the venue’s classification as a video arcade, visitors can reasonably expect a core lineup of upright video cabinets, driving games, and similar coin-operated electronic entertainment typical of a standalone arcade, but any specific machine list, ticket-redemption count, or new-versus-classic split should be confirmed directly with the venue before visiting.
Visiting
The Rush Funplex is listed at Shawnee, KS, with the official website hosted at therushfunplex.com/shawnee-ks/ for directions, specials, and any event listings. The listed phone number, +1 801-515-2909, is the published contact line. The directory record does not include an explicit age policy, food-and-drink offering, or party-booking field, so visitors with specific questions about minors, in-venue dining, or private-event reservations should reach out through those channels rather than assume.
Hours follow a standard family-entertainment pattern: a 10 AM open Monday through Saturday, a 10 PM close Sunday through Thursday, and a midnight close on Friday and Saturday. Sunday shifts the opening later to 11 AM and closes earlier at 9 PM, which is worth planning around for late-weekend sessions. For anyone weighing this venue against other Kansas City-area options, the arcade finder directory lets you filter by city, while the interactive arcade map lays the full metro landscape out geographically.
